Extended Information

The SuperCopier® Desktop Pro Gen-2 is an industrial and an extremely fast, multiple purpose drive duplication unit. It can be used to perform drive duplication, drive imaging, drive cloning, drive erase, drive diagnostics, selective capture, and drive quick format of many drives (hard disk drives and SSD) in a very fast and efficient way. The unit performs at a very high transfer rate, in a very secure Linux environment, and with the most efficient user-friendly touchscreen icons application. The unit has a durable built, with a desktop style, featuring an 8 channels open tray for easy hard drive insertion and connection, 8 SATA/SATA-3 ports, and 6 USB3.0 ports. By default one SAS/SATA port and one USB ports are set to perform as the source ports, but the user has the flexibility to assign each port of the unit as source or target. The main application supports many modes of operations, such as: 1) Mirror mode: Imaging drive with 100% bit by bit copy - any OS and any file system, with HASH verification mechanism which includes HASH target drive and compares to source drive for 100% data transferred verification. The user can also image a portion of the drive by adjusting the % of the bit by bit mirror imaging

2) Duplication drives with a Quick Copy/Advanced Smart Copy - The application supports duplication of the files system only, from many source drives that have the following file system: FAT/NTFS/exFAT/HFS+/Linux EXT2-4 to many target drives. Also, the application automatically performs:

4) Scale down partition (Not for EXT2-4 and not HFS+): If the data on the source drive does not occupy the whole drive, user can copy it to a smaller drive (for example if the data occupied only 200GB on 1TB source drive, then the target drive can be 200GB and cloning from 1TB to 200GB will work). NTFS True scaling down new s/w release Example:We run a bench test with a 160GB source drive, which contains two NTFS partitions, 100MB boot partition, and the rest was Windows partition. The target drive is 120GB and the data load size is 16.4GB. The data is fragmented and previous s/w revision could not even copy to an 80GB target drive. The new s/w version allows the target drive to shrink from a 120GB drive all the way down to 23.5GB drive!

Remarks on off the shelf cloning and imaging application: There are many cloning and imaging stand alone applications, only a few are really working!Some of the testimonials:1) " We’ve been using our Media Clone
Super Copier for over a year now in a very intensive industrial process. Its
unique connection harness made it the best fit for needs – no need to strip drives
out of caddies. During that time we’ve run probably over 1000 drives through it
with little or no fanfare. It does what we need without fuss. Not consumer
level by any means but rather a rugged, reliable, get the job done product. We
recently had some issues, were ready to repair it ourselves, but Media Clone
wanted to make sure everything was up to snuff and took it in-house to fix
themselves. They were extremely courteous, repairs were extremely fast, costs
were very minimal and as soon as we get it back we’ll be back in business. The
old ways of cloning drives one at a time are just too tedious for words. We
highly recommend Media Clone and their products. 3/27/2018 SFMTA Video Shop"

2)
"The MediaClone SuperCopier Desktop unit works very well. The unit runs very fast in multiple session operations, and it is very easy to use. We have loaded many different kinds of partitions on the source drive, and the Quick Copy mode works very well cloning the source to many targets. The application supports GPT and MBR partitions with scaling and non-scaling, NTFS resize works with different size targets, and the latest Windows 10 is very well supported.” Benny Potlog from Intel Israel

3) "For our purposes, being able to sanitize many drives swiftly is a serious need. We looked into several devices but they were usually made for single purposes that didn't match what we were looking for. The MediaClone SuperCopier has allowed us to speed up cleansing drives dramatically as well as clone drives. It's flexible and allows for many operations simultaneously. In the rare event of any issues, we have always received prompt support from MediaClone. The SuperCopier is very well constructed, simple to use, and reliable." Warren Smite from Prosoftnet Calabasas, CA4) “We have searched for few solutions that could help us to destroy our data from retired storage and came across MediaClone SuperWiper solution. I must say, it saved us lots of time erasing individual disks so we have decided to add the Disk Duplicator solution to clone drives. IT Folks love to be able erase data with DoD formatting tool and also provide audit trail for our auditors. Great product and I would highly recommend it.” Les Janeczko Manager, IT Infrastructure Fuzion Analytics

HPA/DCO Automatic Supports: The application has the ability to automatically open HPA and DCO areas and re-size the drive to its full native capacity in order to erase any “hidden data” (HPA/DCO are special areas on the drive that support this feature)

Bad Sectors Handling: The user can select to skip bad sectors/blocks, or abort the operation when it encounters bad sectors/block of sectors on the source drive

Cross Copy From Ports and Interfaces: The user can choose to clone from one type of port, storage protocol, and interface, and save into a different port, storage protocol, and interface. The cross copy of data can be done between SAS/SATA/IDE/USB/SCSI/1394 interfaces

Flexible Port's Role Assignment: The user can re assign any target port a role to be source or target

Source Ports: One SAS/SATA port and one USB3.0 port are set as source ports for cloning operation (Those ports role can not be changed by the user)

Application Features:

GUI: The application is built with large and very simple and easy-to-navigate icons. In a few clicks, the user can set the operation, and it will be quickly up and running

Speed: Extremely fast operation: 100% bit by bit can be up to 29GB/min with SSD and 11GB/min with fast Hard Disk Drives

Support Smart Copy From OS: NTFS, FAT, exFAT, HFS+,EXT2-4

Log Files: It saved in PDF/XML formats with the ability to customize the reports by adding the user company’ logo. The user can select to name the log file by operation date or by the drive' serial number

• Mirror Image: 100% bit by bit for any size of master and target with any OS. Source drive and target drives need to be the same make and size if the user needs to boot from the target drives. The user can image a portion of the drive by adjusting the % of the bit by bit mirror imaging

• Quick Capture- Advanced Smart Copy mode: Where the cloning and the deploying process is done with a copy of the file system.

It supports source drives with FAT/NTFS/EXT -2-3-4 file system

Automatic scan for all the partitions on the source drive

Optional to scale all partitions, or scale only selective partition by user selection and choice

Optional not to scale partitions

Flexibility in cloning mode can be 1:7, 2:6, 3:5, 4:4 and more modes with use of USB3.0 to SATA adapters

Scale down: If the size of the DATA on the source drive (not the size of source drive!) will fit the target drive then the quick copy will be completed

For 100% bit by bit copy: The user can select to add optional HASH calculation value during the data transfer (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2) as authentication and verification of the copied data. SHA-1 is the fastest mode and it almost adds not delay to the total copy time. For extra precaution, the user can also enable the option to "HASH target drives and compare" which will run an addition read pass over the target drives at the end of the copy, calculated HASH value by reading the data from the target drives, and compare the HASH values to the one that was generated from the source drive. That extra step adds some extra time, for example, if running 100% bit by bit copy from 1TB source drive to 7 of 1TB target drives can take around 2h, HASH target drive and compare can add another hour to the total time

Parallel Operations:

Multiple Session Operations:

• Versatility with Multiple Cloning Sessions: The user can assign and selects one source and many targets into one session of cloning. Also, the user can have many sessions of cloning; each will have one source drive and at least one target drive, which gives the user more possibilities to use the unit in a very efficient way. The user can run multiple efficient parallel simultaneous operations on any of the available ports. In addition, the user can combine more than one port to run in the same session. Also, the user can mix different type of operations, and each operation is set as a new independent session. An example of operations: Erase data with DoD protocol from a drive on one port, a quick smart image on a second port and third ports, and so.

• Multiple Sessions Application Screen: All running sessions are displayed in one Application Screen. The application screen shows the name of the session, the operation of the session, the error or abortion flag, completion progress bar, successful completion flag. The user can abort a session, tap on a session to monitor its real-time running progress and get a detailed setting. It is a very easy way to view, navigate, and control the sessions

• Drive Detection Application Screen: All drives and storage devices that are connected to the units will be scanned and displayed in one application screen, called “The detection screen”. The user can tap on each drive to get its detailed info, as well as selecting it for the desired operation they are planning to use

Drive Diagnostics tests and S.M.A.R.T. drive tests: If the user intends to erase drive for re-use purpose, it would be recommended to run some "Health test" on the drive prior to the erase process. There are available are 4 type of tests: Read-Verify (supported by all storage protocols), Short Test (2-5 minutes) which scan random area on the drive, Extended Full Test (Can take hours) that scan the entire drive, or Conveyance Test that identify damage incurred during transporting of the drive, to evaluate the "health" condition of the drive prior to the erase operation(S.M.A.R.T. is only supported by SATA/SAS/SCSI storage protocols)

Logs and Erase Certification: The application generates extensive erase log-files and erase certification (option to save to NIST 800-88 format) that are easy to export to USB flash drive. The user can add his company logo to the erase certification and also add additional info on the erase runs that will append to the certification.

Expansion capabilities and the main hardware options (depend on the number of available PCIE slots available)

Expansion Slots: Optional expansion slots (3 PCIE 3.0) that can be configured at the time of purchasing the main unit to supports many different kinds of storage devices such as SCSI, FC, 1394, TB, Express cards, Mini PCIE, M.2 PCIE NVMe and more. The Supports is limited to the total number of available Expansion slots.

USB3.0 to SATA adapters and Kits Option: Today USB3.0 technology is extremely fast and can run read data from SSD drives up to 20GB/min.With the use of USB3.0 to SATA 4 channel Kit, the user can convert 4 USB3.0 ports to 4 SATA ports on any of MediaClone unit. The optional Kit is supplied with one external PS and it includes all the cabling to power and connects the 4 USB3.0 to SATA adapters. The tested performance when running 4 adapters in parallel was measured at a very high speed and very little speed degradation.

SCSI Expansion and Configuration Option: The user can select to configure the unit at the time of purchasing of the main unit with SCSI controller cards. There are 2 kits available: 6 Drives SCSI and 3 Drives SCSI. The kits include SCSI LVDS 3 channel cable (68pin connectors), SCSI terminator, VHDCI to SCSI adapter, SCA80 and HD50 SCSI adapters to supports old SCSI drives, and external PS. The PCIE 3.0 expansion slots do provide a very high bandwidth and the application can achieve very high-speed meeting SCSI drives transfer rates.

Fiber Channel Expansion and Configuration Option: The user can select to configure the unit at the time of purchasing of the main unit, with FC controller cards. The 2 drives FC-KIT includes FC dual ports 4Gigabit/s controller, 2 FC drive's Adapters, 2 Optical 1m cables, and 2 Transceivers. The PCIE 3.0 expansion slot do provide a very high bandwidth and the application can achieve a very high-speed meeting FC drives transfer rates.

Thunderbolt adapter Option: With the use the Thunderbolt to 1394 adapter, a user can connect the main unit to a Mac laptop that has a TB port (The Mac need to be booted in target mode) and gains access to the Mac internal drive.

More SATA/SAS ports: The unit can be configured to connect to an add-on 8 SAS/SATA Expansion Box and bring the number of the SAS/SATA ports to 16 (see option 8 SAS SATA Expansion Box )
